“Wolters Kluwer History

Wolters Kluwer was founded in the Netherlands more than  175 years ago. Two founding fathers of 18th century Dutch publishing houses, Æbele Kluwer and Jan-Berend Wolters, launched their business to improve the quality of educational materials. As a result of their work, they educated new generations of professionals.

To this day, Wolters Kluwer continues this strong tradition, always focused on delivering value-adding, next-generation information and solutions to our customers, which has been the hallmark of our company since its very beginning.
